Prime elements would include motivation. Highest levels. Whatever is possible.

Spacing out is a common symptom.

This has a lot to do with dopamine.

These people weren't able to do the things they were boasting about.

Motivation levels are still low.

Some people assume they're better than everyone.

I have been to the gym thrice by now.

I'm still figuring how to upgrade motivation. It's hard. I have to push myself to do more than I can handle.

Whatever life brings you have to just deal with it. There's nothing more.

22 principles. Remember them everyday.

 

Taken from an article.

1.Work out what makes you happy. This sounds like the obvious, but most people focus on what they don’t want. For me, I just want to love, be loved and do something I love. Once you have a crystal clear statement imprinted on your mind, even if you don’t know how you are going to make this happen, things will change. You will start making decisions based on your own personalised happiness ‘blueprint’ and you will start attracting different people and opportunities in your life that will align with your decision to commit to your happiness.

 

2. Use your imagination: dare to dream what it would feel like. Get into the feeling. Start to act as if you are already living your happy life. If you drag yourself around in your trackies, when you want to look and feel fabulous … well, you know what you have to do!

 

3. Create time to bring into reality what you really want, that aligns with your happiness blueprint. For example:

Delegate tasks that you have appointed for yourself that someone else can do. No one loves a martyr who denies themselves of joy. If your family resists, stick to your guns! They’ll love the new you!

Learn to say no, it doesn’t define who you are.

Work out what you want to spend your energy on : an hour’s TV, or an hours meditation!

If part of your happiness blueprint is ‘loving others’, then make time for that quick chat.

 

4. Connect with something ‘bigger’ than you: all sorts of wisdom comes from stillness and listening. Everyone has their different choices. For some, it’s prayer, for others, walking through nature, meditation, playing a musical instrument, sitting on the patio watching a sunset. How much silence is in your life right now?

 

5. Shift your thinking to others. You can still delegate, say ‘no’ and put boundaries in place that give you ‘you’ time. That’s one thing. But something magical happens when develop a ‘loving other human beings’ radar. A smile, a kind word to someone who has a win through their journey in life. A small note, just telling someone how great you think they are. I always remember any kindness that people have shown me, even from years back, don’t you? Never underestimate the impact of a kind gesture.

 

6. Start paying attention to your thought patterns. Are you going to buy into your ‘story’ any more? Who told you that you could or couldn’t do something? Who told you that you’re too this or that. You can decide what traits you’d like to develop. Always been labelled as lazy? You can change that in a blink of the eye. A simple decision will do the trick. You’re the boss! And it’s never too late to change 🙂

 

7. Allow other people to be who they are. You cannot change other people’s behaviour so that they make you happy 🙂 You can let people know the effect that their behaviour is having on you, but ultimately people will only change because they want to. It took me a long time to learn this lesson, and oh how it kept popping up in my life until I’d learned it!

8. Presence & Mindfulness: Living in the moment and being fully aware.

9. Positive Emotions: Actively cultivating feelings like joy, love, and contentment.

10. Engagement & Flow: Finding activities that fully absorb you.

11. Being Your Own Best Friend: Practicing self-compassion and kindness to yourself.

12. Creator’s Mindset: Taking responsibility for your own joy rather than being a victim of circumstances.

13. Achievement & Active Creation: Setting and achieving personal goals.

14. Conscious Self-development: Committing to continuous personal growth.

15. The Power of Gratitude: Focusing on what you have, not what you lack.

16. Leveraging Own Strengths: Recognizing and using your unique talents.

17. Building Resilience: Developing the ability to recover from setbacks.

18. Meaning & Purpose: Connecting to something larger than yourself.

19. Positive Relationships: Nurturing deep connections with others.

20. Happiness is a choice: It is a daily decision to adopt positive habits rather than waiting for circumstances to change.

21. Avoid comparison: Focus on your own journey, not on comparing yourself to others.

22. Prioritize Health: Proper diet and exercise are foundational for a happy mind.
